Description
Pair Antique Late Meiji Period Kinkozan Kiln Chrysanthemum Large Vases Signed Toritei
Beautiful pair of signed cream ware large vases depicting Chrysanthemums and insects. I am told that it is likely that Toritei was an educated artist of repute rather than just an unskilled employed decorator. I believe these vases are likely to be dated between 1850 and early 1900s.
Condition: One vase has a historical break and staple repair, the other vase has no apparent chips or cracks. Both vases have light orange peel type age related crazing under glaze.
